    Have actually missed JR more than I thought I would in the booth, great news that he'll be back and even better news that he's healthy, fcuk cancer!

    Khan announced that Keith Mitchell (producer) will retire after tonight's show.

    Hope it doesn't change much about the presentation going forward and we don't get a Kevin Dunn fan taking over that will add more camera cuts etc.

    Was thinking as well, hope they have a brand new Dynamite set lined up for the move to TBS. Just to freshen things up a bit.

    Christ, a Jericho Malakai feud would be awful. Literally the last person I'd want Black to get into a feud with. Jericho should have retired from in ring at the end of the MJF feud (with MJF beating him)

    With Mercedes Martinez now All Elite

    Looks like someone else might be in 90 days.




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 60,875 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    Sign Ember Moon next and the AEW womens roster will start looking really impressive.

    Very entertaining episode of Dynamite to end the TNT era, the best part having JR back and in flying form. All the tag matches were really good, the ten man could have been messy but they kept things tight and it worked well. 2.0 and their son are such a good pro-wrestling unit. Wardlow continues to be a beast. Cool to have reDRagon back again too. Next week’s show on paper is an absolute cracker as well!

    AEW isn’t perfect but for me it’s the promotion of the year again, just slightly edging out STARDOM and NOAH. In a US pro-wrestling context AEW is easily the best. I rarely if ever watch IMPACT these days, you get the odd good match but it’s way too wwe-lite. GCW can be good but is very hit and miss. As for the entertainment company luckily I have functioning eyesight and don’t have to force myself to endure the steaming pile of garbage that is served up to the wwe universe on a weekly basis. Sports-entertainment isn’t pro-wrestling anyways. Long may it last!

    Enjoyed the show. Aside from Sammy and his stupid cards. Curious to see whether Cole turns on Redragon or if the three of them turn on the Bucks.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,009 ✭✭✭✭titan18


    One of their weaker shows imo. Too many multi man tag matches for me and only singles matches we got were the Wardlow squash and Thunder Rosa trying to carry Jade to a half decent match.

    Could have knocked one of the tags off and given us a decent singles match tbh.

    Really fun end of year episode but they really need a trios title at this stage to put a bit more meaning into all these multi man matches.



  • Registered Users Posts: 5,253 ✭✭✭The White Wolf


    Painmaker has to be cringiest crap by far that he's come up with.



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,139 ✭✭✭ConcertKing


    How Adam Cole wasn't pushed to the moon when he joined WWE on RAW and Smackdown is really beyond me!

    He really is the total package and has it all and I'd put the AEW World Title on him now!

    Shout out too to FTR who I wasn't a fan of when they first came to AEW but they really have upped their game lately and they have me converted.An excellent tag team and I love their theme music!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,951 ✭✭✭Cherry_Cola


    Dan Lambert almost went face with his mocking of Cody's tattoo. He's quality.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 60,875 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    Who does everyone think will be the 3 judges.

    I would originally said Bisshoff would be one of them however he is a WWE guy again now.

    I really want Cornette to be one.

    I coud see Jerry Brisco being one.

    I'm wondering is this a way to give Flair his AEW moment since the Battle of the Blets is in Charlotte.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,641 ✭✭✭RollieFingers


    Is Foley under a wwe contract? I have no idea but if he isn't that would work. Steamboat would be great too, again probably very unlikely. Someone like Chris Hero maybe more realistic. Cornette would be excellent.

    I completely forgot AEW had judges before, Arn, Malenko and Keiji f'n Mutoh! Love that!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,220 ✭✭✭✭J. Marston


    Bret, Flair and another.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,283 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    Sky and Page make me think of Corbin and Moss with their laughing.

    For some reason I thought Mercedes was already in AEW. Must've been Impact.

    Thought they would have a TNT title match on the final TNT episode.

    Does having judges mean the match will likely go the hour? Or near enough anyway.



  • Registered Users Posts: 2,349 ✭✭✭Cotts72


    That Cargill and rosa match was god awful even my missus stated the same and her only knowledge of wrestling stems from watching total bellas! I assumed they were building to rosa v britt but wondering where they'll go now



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,865 ✭✭✭Pentecost


    It was bad alright. Jade has about three moves that she can do semi competently. She looks like a star but she has an awful long way to go to have any business being a champion.

    Thought that was a completely meh show.

    Jericho and Brandi back on TV, Great....

    Jericho waiting around for the crowd to get the sing along out of the way before doing anything else was painful. Couldn't care less about anything he does these days including commentary.

    Looks like Brandi will get a TV feud when it's completely undeserving.

    Agree that there was too many multi man matches for one show.

    Jade Cargill is awful. Has she ever hit that scissors kick thing properly? Feel like AEW are booking Rosa the way WWE books. She's probably the most popular wrestler in the womens division but always seems to come up short. People will stop caring after awhile.

    Also will that Bunny/Ford Vs Tay/Jay feud ever end?

    I'm hoping the move to TBS is a kickstart because I've felt the last few months has been completely lackluster. Matches like Hangman Vs Bryan have been brilliant but it's the storylines that have been crap. Maybe Khan should get in someone to help him with the booking in 2022.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,865 ✭✭✭Pentecost


    Bunny/Ford v Tay/Jay gets good ratings when they do it apparently. Presumably for the obvious reasons. But it's absolutely gone on way too long.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 54,621 ✭✭✭✭Headshot


    Yes it was a poor show.

    I dont want to see Brandy, Jericho and Jade on my tv.

    If Rosa cannot get a good match out of Jade there's no hope for Jade tbh. I can see why they are big on Jade but she cannot wrestle



  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    Also one of the laziest booking things AEW should get away from in 2022 is - babyface getting attacked 3/4 on 1 and 2/3 babyfaces (sometimes completely random) come out to help leading to a 3 on 3 or 4 on 4 match on the next show. Feels like they've done it 100 times. (Nothing to do with last night's show just something I feel they always do).



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,951 ✭✭✭Cherry_Cola


    Agree. Post-match beat downs are way overused also. I want more backstage stories that are a little more than a face off at the interview area as well. The Malakai black vignette recently was great. More of that type of thing would be great.



  • Registered Users Posts: 5,253 ✭✭✭The White Wolf


    A short Mercedes vs Rosa feud should put Rosa back on track as being a legit threat but I'd agree it's very frustrating to see her still booked poorly when a secondary title has been introduced to the division.

    I don't even know who Britt is feuding with right now either.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,641 ✭✭✭RollieFingers


    Britt's defending against Riho at Battle of the Belts after Riho beat her on Rampage a few weeks back. There was a video package about it on this week's Dynamite in fairness, pretty hard to miss!



  • Registered Users Posts: 5,253 ✭✭✭The White Wolf


    Ah I got rid of the Fire tv package so I'm out of the loop.

    Loved the little tease of Pillman wearing a Venom t-shirt... a character transformed after coming into contact with black goo. Half wonder if Black will turn the whole Varsity Blondes team, but definitely think he'll turn at least one of them anyway.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 31,977 ✭✭✭✭~Rebel~


    Still think it'll go Rosa V Britt before too long... in a way, Rosa had to get knocked out of this secondary tournament as that would have kept her away from Britt. So now she's out of that scene, but was (in theory) still kept strong in losing by a sucker punch. Think she'll have a week or two with Mercedes now while the Riho thing comes to its conclusion, and then Rosa Britt will be next up.

    Damn!!! Tbf I do think AEW could do with some more diversity (really hope they sign Keith Lee, Ember Moon, Swerve and Rok-C) but Swole was absolutely awful so she deserved to not have her contract extended.



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,139 ✭✭✭ConcertKing


    Damn Tony Khan went hard at Big

    Lio Rush has had his say!

    First sign of disharmony I've seen in AEW besides Brian Cage!



  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 42,602 Mod ✭✭✭✭Lord TSC


    Khan isn’t wrong with his response, and has a right to defend his company, but that last line is a stupid shot. It’s unprofessional and has probably snowballed this into a bigger issue. A more respectable statement without the shot would have killed the story dead.



  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    Gonna have to agree with you @Lord TSC

    As much as I thought Swole was shite it's a bit rich Khan slagging her off for her in ring work when Britt Baker is his world champ (awful in ring) and there's a chance Jade Cargill will win the TBS championship.

    Sometimes he should just stay quiet.

    Britt Baker retweeted and liked Khan's tweet. This is going to get very messy!

    Khan really just can't take criticism tbh.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 60,875 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    He should have went with Swole screwed Swole at the end not she can't wrerstle.



  • Registered Users Posts: 48,990 ✭✭✭✭Lithium93_


    That was just absolutely stupid on Tony's part.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,573 ✭✭✭2ndcoming


    Khan shouldn't have bothered saying anything. Lio Rush seems like a pain in the hole as well though.



  • Registered Users Posts: 48,990 ✭✭✭✭Lithium93_


    He's essentially delivered this to critics on a silver platter.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 60,875 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    Damn that was a great street fight those women deserve a few beers after that.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 31,977 ✭✭✭✭~Rebel~


    Looking forward to next time Caster gets a mic in his hands :p



  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    the one thing I would not have said about AEW was that it lacked diversity all three shows regularly feature Black, Hispanic and Asian talent throughout there shows from under card to main event. What I will say about Tony Khan's Twitter game is he is usually spot on till he hits the last sentence and then he makes himself look the fool. He really needs someone to proof read his Tweets and delete the last sentence before he presses send.

    Sammy being a bro for Tony and giving the Twitter freak out brigade a new target for a few hours, lol
